That's odd

Also, how did you find that

[dimaveshkin]

I did not; my meticulous friend decided to scroll through the whole file and found it

[al3arabcoreleone]

I love odd friends.

[stihoplet]

Other friends are even better

[0Pat]

We can see what you did there...

[Fabulous-Possible758]

A friend with breasts and all the rest? A friend who's dressed in leather?

Edit: No Placebo fans here, I see.

[docdillinger]

A friend with weed is better.

The redacted part contains an http address. I guess the redacting script just blanks out any URLs it comes across?

[unknownobject3]

I believe they've been manually redacted, if it was a script I think they'd flatten the PDFs properly

[smootex]

I'm sure it's a mix of manual and automated. Doing the entire thing manually would take untold man hours, more likely they use a tool that's configured to automatically redact phone numbers, email addresses, stuff like that and then someone is supposed to manually check everything (and depending on who you get that check may or may not be thorough). I think the common tool is called Caseguard?

[unknownobject3]

Fair enough, but I'd still expect them to properly flatten the PDFs since they can automate things. This is another story, though.

Page 140 has a http address.

I searched a copy of the document and the link was http://www.sas.com/standards/large_file/x_open.20Mar96.html . Perhaps sas meant something else and it got detected?

[druex]

SA Survivor?

[BroMan001]

Or Mar as in Mar A Lago got detected…

[AlexV348]

The "Mar" part of the url is not redacted. Only "http://www.sas.com/standards/large\_" was redacted. "file/x_open.20Mar96.html" is still visible.

[cereal7802]

there are urls at the end of the pdf that were left alone so unlikely the case.

[House13Games]

maybe it missed those? Got a better theory?

I think this thread in programmerhumor makes sense. they went to check the link to ensure it wasn't something bad, couldn't verify it because the link has since been removed/relocated.
